After the family had breakfast at Xie Zhenghe's house, they took their things and went to Li Waishan's house. Because it was Xie Zhengchuan who came to the house in person and Li Cuilan was sent away, Li Cuilan hated Xie Zhengchuan so much that she gnashed her teeth when she saw him now, and she no longer loved him as much as she did before.
Su Li saw that she was also uncomfortable, so she didn't say much to Li Waishan. She put down the things and money, chatted for a while, and then went back to Xie's house.
During breakfast in the morning, Xie Zhengchuan had already said that he would go back to the provincial capital today. Xie's father and Xie Li did not dare to keep him. Their son now held a high position and was a big shot, so they could understand.
After talking for a while at the Xie family, Xie Zhengchuan drove his family to Sujiaba. When they set off, Xie Li held a hemp leather bag and put it in the trunk. In it were dried vegetables that she had made earlier and some mountain products that the children loved to eat when they were young. She had picked them at the foot of the mountain when she was young and was waiting to give them to the children when they came back. Even though Lai Fu and the others wanted to eat some, she was reluctant to take them out.
Xie Laifu and Xiangzhi used to pretend to be jealous in front of her, which made the old lady embarrassed for several days. But now Xie Laifu and the others really like talking to their grandparents and think their expressions and words are very interesting. Sometimes, when Xie's father got angry with Guozi, he would use his walking stick to chase him away, and Laifu and Xiangzhi would laugh when they saw it.
Su Li, Li Dan and Tiedan waved vigorously from the car window, but they could still see Xie Li secretly wiping away tears from the rearview mirror.
Li Dan and Tie Dan leaned back in their chairs for a long time without saying anything.
Su Li glanced back at Ieng Man from the co-pilot seat and said nothing. After all, they were still young and had a strong emotional bond, which showed that they valued friendship, but now that they were grown up, they would always want to fly away, and there was nothing they could do about it.
In a quarter of an hour, the car arrived at Sujiaba.
Today, the Su family has a beautiful small courtyard. Su Shan and Liu Shuying opened a small shop at home to sell small groceries, which is convenient for people in the village.
When he is busy, he cultivates his own land. When he is free, he goes to the county town or the provincial capital to visit Su Li and Su Fang. Su An is now in his second year of high school, and his family is more than enough to support him as a student.
Their family can take care of Li Ruiying and Su Changshun. As they are old, they need someone to be around. Su Hai and Guo Rumei bought a big house in the county town and would take the two elderly people to live in the county town when they have time, but they are not used to it and rarely go there.
Su Lie and Suzhou Canning Factory are now big businesses, with many social events and little time at home. Li Ruiying often scolds them for being heartless people who go out drinking every day and don't know how to take care of the family.
In fact, the daughters-in-law all knew that she was scolding them. When the business gets bigger, there are also shameless women throwing themselves at you. Men do lose their way sometimes when they have money, but good Li Ruiying can see clearly. If she knew that Su Hai, Su Lie and Suzhou went home to sleep that night, she would definitely rush home with her bound feet and a walking stick.
No matter what, just go up and beat her. You, Mr. Su, are always a good boy in front of her at home. If you make her angry and make her sick, not only will the other brothers be merciless, but I will be the first one to suffer.
In fact, they were still the same as when they were little, afraid of Li Ruiying, afraid that Su Li and the others would be angry and sad. So none of the daughters-in-law were ungrateful for Li Ruiying's actions. Every time they came home, they served tea and water and made the old lady feel comfortable.
Su Huai's position has been promoted in the past two years. He failed to keep the secret of the cannery shares, which was discovered by Wu Yanhong. Fortunately, she was awakened by the scolding of Li Ruiying and Su Li. She realized that she was not always thinking about her mother's family, and she also took good care of her own family.
She just listened to Su Li's advice and opened a clothing store herself. In the past two years, she has expanded to four or five stores. Business is booming. She would give money to her parents' home when she has money, but she is also limited in how much she spends. Seeing her like this, Su Huai has fewer complaints in his heart.
Wu Yanhong also knew that Su Huai had no ulterior motives outside, and that he had saved all the dividends from the canning factory over the years and would leave them to his two children in the future.
Li Ruiying didn't make a fuss with her. The previous quarrel was over. Every family has conflicts, and one couldn't ruin their life just because of a little quarrel.
When Su Li got home, Li Ruiying was sitting at the door with her eyes closed, basking in the sun, with a small walking stick beside her. Su Li looked at her with a head full of white hair, lying there quietly, and felt a little uneasy.
In recent years, she has often given spiritual spring water to several elderly people, so they are still very healthy and have fewer wrinkles on their faces.
Su Li also knew that the spiritual spring water was not a panacea. Even if it could heal a dead body, it was not an elixir of immortality. They would leave her one day, but she always thought that she could stay one day longer, and her life would get better and better in the future.
Su Li thought that now that her career was stable, she might as well take the elderly out for a walk while they were still healthy. She bought more than a dozen large courtyard houses in Beijing, one of which was located in the imperial city. She specially went to supervise the decoration and reserved rooms for the elderly. In recent years, she was too busy and could not find time to take them out.
When she returns to the provincial capital to make some arrangements, her two children, Lidan and Tiedan, have not yet joined the army and the police academy, so it would be a good opportunity for them to go together.
Su Li walked to Li Ruiying, stretched out her hand and shook her arm, and said softly: "Mom, Mom."
Li Ruiying felt so comfortable in the sun that she fell asleep soon. She felt someone calling her, so she opened her eyes and saw that it was her daughter.
"Hey, my son, why are you back? When did you get home? Why didn't I hear you?"
"I went back to Shanghe Village yesterday and was thinking of coming home to visit today. Mom, why did you fall asleep at the door? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Su Li said with a frown and helped her up.
"Mom." Xie Zhengchuan said.
"Grandma" Li Dan/Tiedan.
Li Ruiying looked at her son-in-law and two grandchildren with a smile on her face.
"Hey, why are you two good kids back?"
"Hey, we have some time. Does grandma miss us?"
"Yes, I do. How can I not think about it? I think about it every day."
Su Li looked at the people who were chatting at the gate and said, "You two should take the things in the car home quickly. Your grandma just fell asleep. I'm afraid she will catch a cold. Go home first and drink some hot water."
Li Ruiying was happy when she saw the children going home. She was even happier that her daughter was so thoughtful, but she was still stubborn.
"How can you catch a cold? The sun is so bright here, it's so comfortable to bask in the sun. I'm not saying anything bad about you, little girl, but you're old now and you can't even speak."
Although she said so, her hand was still holding Su Li's hand tightly. Su Li was also happy to hear her talk about herself, and listening to her full of energy, she felt inexplicably at ease.
No matter how old you are, it is a great happiness to see your mother healthy and able to scold you.
